A man discovered that his $4,000 engagement ring was missing and immediately suspected his 9-year-old nephew, who had a history of stealing. Worried the boy might take the ring, he hid it in a drawer and installed a cheap spy camera to keep an eye on it. When the ring disappeared, the footage revealed his nephew taking it. The man confronted his brother and nephew, but the boy lied about where the ring was. They searched the house, but the ring couldn’t be found. The man demanded the ring be returned or his brother pay him $4,000 for a replacement. Since his brother couldn’t afford to pay,
he and his family were asked to move out.A week later, after receiving advice on Reddit, the man checked the guest room’s bathroom sink and found the ring hidden there. He was relieved and proposed to his girlfriend that same night. However, despite finding the ring, he refused to let his brother’s family move back in, as he felt his brother had failed to address his son’s stealing problem. Many Reddit users supported his decision, agreeing that the nephew’s behavior needed to be corrected and that the man was right to take a firm stance.
